Australia might have lost the Ashes to England but the nation's media saw enough at Old Trafford to believe the tables can be turned when the rivalry heads Down Under later this year.
England retained the famous urn after rain meant the third Test ended in a draw on Monday, denying Australia the opportunity to claw back the series to 2-1 with two Tests to play.

England retained the Ashes after most of the final day's play on Day 5 in the 3rd Test at Old Trafford was washed away due to persistent rain but former skipper, Andrew Strauss stated that the hosts still have to ensure that they win the series.

Australia, after all, will not suffer a whitewash in England, but after weather played spoilsport in Manchester for the second successive day, the Baggy Greens failed to win the Ashes for the third time on the bounce.

David Warner is hopeful that Australia will press for a win on the final day at Old Trafford despite rain and bad light playing spoilsport in the final session of the penultimate day and forcing play to be called off much ahead of the scheduled close.
